A method and apparatus of transmitting a feedback message in a wireless communication system is provided. A mobile station receives information on a first period and a second period from a base station and transmits a first feedback message in every first period or a second feedback message in every second period to the base station over a primary fast feedback channel (PFBCH). The first feedback message comprises a channel quality indicator (CQI) for a subband selected from a plurality of subbands, and the second feedback message comprises a subband index of the selected subband.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method of transmitting a feedback message in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving information on a first period and a second period from a base station; and transmitting a first feedback message in every first period or a second feedback message in every second period to the base station over a primary fast feedback channel (PFBCH), wherein the first feedback message comprises a channel quality indicator (CQI) for a subband selected from a plurality of subbands, and the second feedback message comprises a subband index of the selected subband.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the number of the selected subband is one.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CQI for the selected subband is computed by adding an average measure of a CQI over the plurality of subbands and a differential CQI of the selected subband.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first feedback message and the second feedback message is changed according to a value of Multiple-In Multiple-Out (MIMO) feedback mode.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting of the first feedback message or the second feedback message comprises: selecting a sequence corresponding to the first feedback message or the second feedback message from a plurality of sequences; and transmitting the selected sequence by mapping the sequence to a symbol.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first feedback message further comprises a precoding matrix index (PMI) or a rank.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second period is a 2 n multiple of the first period (where n is a natural number).
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein, if a period of the first feedback message overlaps with a period of the second feedback message, the second feedback message is transmitted.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving information on the selected subband from the base station.
10. A mobile station (MS) in a wireless communication system, the MS comprising: a radio frequency (RF) unit for transmitting or receiving a radio signal; and a processor coupled to the RF unit and configured to: receive information on a first period and a second period from a base station, and transmit a first feedback message in every first period or a second feedback message in every second period to the base station, wherein the first feedback message comprises a channel quality indicator (CQI) for a subband selected from a plurality of subbands, and the second feedback message comprises a subband index of the selected subband.
11. The MS of claim 10 , wherein the number of the selected subband is one.
12. The MS of claim 10 , wherein the first feedback message or the second feedback message is transmitted over a primary fast feedback channel (PFBCH).
13. The MS of claim 10 , wherein, if a period of the first feedback message overlaps with a period of the second feedback message, the second feedback message is transmitted.
